Abstract

This part will focus on exploiting network coding capabilities in a network in order to achieve larger region of rates and smaller delay levels. After a brief discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of network coding, dynamic schemes that utilize the advantages will be presented. Also, the delay gains and potential economic gains of network coding will be discussed in the context of broadcasting over unreliable channels.
